Lemon and honey with warm water on empty stomach is touted to be the ultimate detox drink that could help one lose weight, aid in constipation, prevent bloating and cleanse your liver. Considering its preparation requires minimum effort and the ingredients are readily available, many of us have tried it at some point or the other. Besides, both lemon and honey have their own set of benefits for health and it seems like there are zero side-effects of having this easy-to-make drink every morning. While lemon is an excellent source of vitamin C, flavonoids, potassium among other things, honey helps in wound healing, burn healing and improved heart health. So, can one safely have lemon and honey water without any worry?

But how many of you believe it? OR have actually given it a try? And if you have tried it- for how many has it worked? Some of you would say-it works, while others would say it doesn’t work and there are always some of us who want to know whether it works or not and only then would give it a shot, right?" says Dr Bhavsar. The Ayurveda expert shares the benefits of having lemon-honey water and also side-effects for certain people.
